Potato (First Early) Epicure

Recovers better than many from frost and produces high yields than many earlies. Good, firm, floury, white fleshed tubers with very good flavour; splendid for chipping, roasting, baking or mashed. Scotland's favourite!

First Early Seed PotatoesThese must be one of the best reasons for growing your own ‘traditional new potatoes’. Plant chitted tubers from late March (earlier in warmer areas) and lift when plants come into flower or drop buds from June.

Spring Planting Seed Potatoes Growing your own potatoes is incredibly rewarding and so easy to do! Our carefully selected range has a spud for every occasion, with varieties chosen first and foremost for their flavour and reliability. We are committed to supplying only the highest quality seed potatoes! In the main, we will only offer seed potatoes produced in mainland Britain, which are certified by either SEERAD or DEFRA and sorted to riddle size 30-60mm.

All of our seed potatoes are certified “Safe Haven” or equivalent status. The Safe Haven Certification Scheme provides protection for the British potato industry and its customers from bacterial ring rot and other harmful organisms like brown rot and soft rots caused by Dickeya species. The scheme ensures that all seed is only grown from Safe Haven sourced seed or nuclear stock and this helps protect against any pests and diseases which affect potato and are not found in Britain. All our customers can therefore be assured of first class quality seed potatoes for their gardens and allotments.
